什麼是小型液化天然氣?
小規模液化天然氣(LNG)是指直接使用液態的液化天然氣,而不是傳統的再氣化過程,然後引入天然氣輸送管網。與大型液化天然氣相比,它的建造時間更短、資本支出(CAPEX)更少、回報期更長。與石油和柴油相比,它不會排放二氧化碳或其他有害氣體,因此對環境友好。它廣泛應用於解決偏遠工業和住宅區的離網發電需求。小型液化天然氣也用於全球的發電、工業原料和運輸活動。
新冠疫情的爆發,為小型液化天然氣產業帶來了嚴峻考驗,也為許多國家帶來了前所未有的挑戰。由於各國管理機構實施封鎖和宵禁,該國暫停了小規模液化天然氣的生產。這導致能源需求急劇減少,該行業的參與者因當時的生產關閉而遭受巨大損失。此外,疫情也限制了小型液化天然氣的經銷,並造成卡車司機短缺。這導致雙方的合約被推遲或取消,並且生產商出於安全考慮推遲了新項目的建設。此外,疫情導致經濟和工業活動急劇下滑,以及油價快速暴跌導致小規模液化天然氣價格突然下跌,也導致能源需求減少。除此之外,該產業還面臨需求下降、價格低迷、庫存量高以及對項目可行性和供應削減的擔憂加劇等問題。由於小型液化天然氣產業的生產停頓和供應鏈問題,各種項目的投資決策也出現了前所未有的下降。
目前,全球大眾對節能、低成本能源的需求不斷成長是支持市場成長的關鍵因素之一。除此之外,小型液化天然氣作為柴油的替代品在運輸領域的應用日益廣泛,這也為市場帶來了積極的前景。此外,由於小型液化天然氣價格低廉、效率高,其在發電領域的使用日益廣泛,也推動了市場的成長。除此之外,小型浮式液化天然氣設施的不斷改進,為行業投資者提供了豐厚的成長機會。此外,各國管理機構正在實施嚴格的規章制度,鼓勵採用液化天然氣,以降低全球有害氣體的排放,從而促進市場的成長。此外,船舶加油對小型液化天然氣的需求不斷成長,也對市場產生了積極影響。此外,隨著人們對環境污染的認知不斷提高,對小型液化天然氣的需求不斷增加,也增強了市場的成長。
The global small-scale LNG market size reached USD 38.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 68.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.29% during 2025-2033. The growing application in transportation and power generation, surging energy demand, and rising investments in floating LNG represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Rising Utilization in Transportation and Power Generation Fostering Market Growth
The small-scale LNG market has been experiencing continuous growth. The increasing usage of small-scale LNG in transportation and power generation represents one of the primary drivers resulting in the increasing sales of small-scale LNG. The shifting preference toward LNG as an alternative to diesel for high horsepower vehicular transport applications, such as heavy trucks, mining trucks, and fleet vehicles. Additionally, the rising oil prices and concerns about reducing emissions are bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the rising utilization of LNG assists in reducing the fuel and maintenance costs of a vehicle. Besides this, LNG is widely used in the power generation sector as it is a cheap source.
Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is moderately fragmented as the market is controlled by few regional and international players. The volume of new entrants is low due to price sensitive buyers, stringent government regulations, and high capital investment. In addition, the market has low product differentiation, as players differentiate themselves based on the price and quality of LNG.
What is Small-Scale LNG?
Small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) refers to the direct use of LNG in its liquid form as compared to the traditional process of regasification and subsequent introduction into the gas transmission grid. It has shorter construction timelines, reduced capital expenditure (CAPEX), and payoff periods as compared to large-scale LNG. It is environment-friendly as it does not emit carbon dioxide or other harmful gases compared to oil and diesel. It is widely utilized in addressing off-grid power generation needs in remote industrial and residential complexes. Small-scale LNG also finds applications in power generation, industrial feedstock, and transportation activities across the globe.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a severe problem for the small-scale LNG industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. It paused the production of small-scale LNG due to lockdowns and curfews imposed by the governing agencies of various countries. It caused a huge and sudden reduction in energy demand and the players in this industry suffered huge losses due to the closure of production at that time. Moreover, the pandemic has restricted the distribution of small-scale LNG and created a shortage of truck drivers. This caused postponed or canceled contracts between the parties and the producers were delaying the construction of new projects due to safety concerns. In addition, there was a reduced energy demand due to the steep decline in economic and industrial activities caused by the pandemic and the sudden decline in small-scale LNG prices due to the rapid oil price crash. Besides this, the industry was suffering a downward demand, low prices, high storage levels, and increased concerns over the viability of projects and supply cuts. Various investment decisions for projects were also witnessed unprecedented drops due to the halted production and supply chain problems in the small-scale LNG industry.
At present, the rising demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective energy sources among the masses worldwide represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing utilization of small-scale LNG in the transportation sector as an alternative to diesel fuel is offering a positive market outlook. Additionally, the increasing utilization of small-scale LNG in the power generation sector, as it is inexpensive and efficient, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, rising improvements in small-scale floating LNG facilities wherein the process of gas is carried out at sea, such as production, liquefaction, storage, and transfer, before carriers ship it directly to markets is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Moreover, governing agencies of various countries are encouraging the adoption of LNG by implementing stringent rules and regulations to lower emissions of harmful gases across the globe, which is contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, the growing demand for small-scale LNG in marine bunkering is positively influencing the market. Furthermore, the rising demand for small-scale LNG due to the increasing awareness among individuals about environmental pollution is strengthening the market growth.
